DOLPHINS WIN, GIANTS WIN, JETS WIN.. .YANKEES.. NOT SO MUCH.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon for football and just being out and about in the city.  The DOLFANS NYC were out in force to cheer on their Dolphins while the Sunday Brew Crew held court in usual spot, better known as "The Corner".   Both parties enjoyed a great afternoon of victorious football for the Dolphins, Giants and Jets.  Which brings me to an interesting observation.

While it's been great to have the DolfansNYC on board at Third and Long and enjoy their zest and spirit when their team does well, I can't help but to be a bit put off when I hear some members of the club telling people to "get the f*** out, this is our bar"!  Especially to some of the Third and Long regulars, many of them who have been coming to the bar for years and were more than accommodating to the original DolfansNYC when they first started coming here.  And if memory serves me correct, part of the reason for coming here, was to be able to enjoy watching the Dolphins without being abused; And aside from the playful banter from time to time, you've been able to do that.  But now as the group grows larger in stature, you'll find a few "bad apples" that may taint the rest of the group and my fear is that you become the very thing you wanted to avoid.  Being known as "that group".  And we don't want to see that happen.  You guys, as a whole, are great, with wonderful, unique personalities that makes the DolfansNYC group stand out among others.

Look, we enjoy Sunday Football with the DolfansNYC and the playful banter between everyone adds to the enjoyment.  Let's just remember that it's fun times and football and that everyone should be able to enjoy both and co-exist peacefully.

As for the NY Yankees and their fans.... The playoffs began last week with Baltimore and I was surprised to see the "lack of enthusiasm" from Yankee fans about the playoffs and that particular series.  Maybe they were looking ahead to the next round?  Now the next round is here and they are up against Detroit and yet the same lackluster spirit still exists.  And add to that, the loss of Derek Jeter in Game 1 and it seems as if the air has been let out of the Yankee float.  Did NY Yankee fans jump ship?  It's still a bit early to tell, but it sure seems so.  Let's see what Game 3 brings to us on Tuesday, but if you ask me, I think the Yankee float has sailed into the sunset.  Hopefully Yankee fans will prove me wrong.   Stay tuned...


Cheers!
